I Sverige diskrimineras invandrarkvinnor inte bara för att de är invandrare utan även kvinna. Det finns även en stereotyp bild av invandrarkvinnan som beskriver henne som outbildad, underordnad hemmafru. Forskning visar att denna felaktiga stereotypa bild av henne inverkar negativt på hennes chanser till arbete och på hennes situation i arbetslivet. Denna bild måste ändras eftersom det finns forskning som visar att det finns grupper av invandrarkvinnor som har lika utbildning som infödda kvinnor eller högre utbildning än dessa. Fokus för denna C-uppsats är ett antal invandrarkvinnors positiva och negativa erfarenheter av det svenska arbetslivet.

When we worked with the project I ended up in a dilemma how I as a teacher was to retain the children?s joy and curiosity for writing without making it boring.

Mergers between companies has become more and more common in Sweden and in the rest of the world with the motive to increase the competitive strength in the current markets and has an important role within organisational development of companies. When organisations merger there is not only buildings and objects that are put together but also their individual organisational structures, people, values and cultures. This can be a difficult process and can affect many people in how they think conscious as well as unconscious, feel and react.The purpose of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of how employees are affected following a merger when changes in the organisational culture come up, and how these changes are expressed.This thesis is delimited to investigate only one company, Skruf Snus AB and only focus on their business and employees in the region of Stockholm. The thesis contains a qualitative investigation with semi structured interviews that has been carried out with eight employees at Skruf Snus AB. The thesis is partly based on a model of Schein which describes the different levels in organisational culture and partly on some theories about reactions to change in relation to the integration between the employees following a merger.The results of the investigation indicate that with a merger the whole organisational culture is affected and therefore also the employees.

I uppsatsen utförs en diskursanalys av tidig rådgivningslitteratur som behandlar aspergers syndrom och som riktar sig till personer med aspergers syndrom och personer i dessas närmaste omgivning. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur författarna etablerar den nya diagnosen och hur de etablerar hur den bör fungera i sitt sociala sammanhang.Analysen visar att författarna beskriver att det finns flera tillgängliga definitioner av aspergers syndrom och att det råder stor oenighet även kring om det över huvud taget bör vara en diagnos. Diagnosen framstår som mycket flexibel i sin tillämning. Resultatet av undersökningen indikerar att införandet av aspergersdiagnosen påverkar diagnosproducenternas blick för vad som är avvikande beteende.Trots den oenighet författarna beskriver kring kategorin aspergers syndrom, beskriver de inte desto mindre denna som en mycket viktig kategori och dess införande som en stor framgång. Författarna tillämpar kategorin för att tolka och beskriva människor.

In Sweden, detailed development plans (DDPs) go through a screening process to decide whether their implementation could cause significant environmental impact or not. The criteria in the legislation were studied to see if an environmental impact assessment was needed. This study also investigated 26 DDPs from 12 out of 13 of the municipalities in Östergötland and how they meet up to the demands in relevant legislation, for example the rules for Environmental Impact Assessments. Plans that concerned suburban communities and new housing were selected. The environmental issues highlighted in the plan documents were compared to selected topics from the GIS data base 'Östgötakartan' to see if the assessments made by the municipalities were reasonable judged.

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to present an overviewof a number of libraries? specially adapted media forchildren with special needs.We also wanted to see how the librarians worked to helpchildren with special needs, to take advantage of the librariescollections and activities. These special needs could bedyslexia but may also be disabilities which have resulted inthem being unable to read literature other than specialadapted literature. Examples of this literature are DAISY,book & DAISY, pictogram, bliss, ISAAC, easy reading,Braille, tactile picture books, and computer programs thatmake it easier for people to read in their own way with theirown skills.Using qualitative interviews we have interviewed sevenlibrarians. Through this process we have been able toascertain which methods public libraries use to meet theneeds of those children whose disabilities relate to reading.The interviews also explored how they are working withchildren who need more time than other children does whenit comes to reading.The results of the interviews showed that the librariesprovided a lot of special adapted media.

Livsstilfaktorer som inaktivitet, felaktiga kostvanor och rökning bidrar till utvecklandet av fetma, blodfettsrubbningar, typ 2 diabetes och högt blodtryck, och ökar risken för insjuknande i hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar. Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera om en kombinerad tränings och kostintervention under 3 månader, följt av regelbunden uppföljning under ett år påverkar motionsvanor, hälsoupplevelse och riskfaktorer hos personer i riskgrupper. 151 medelålders kvinnor och män med riskfaktorer för hjärt- och kärlsjukdom randomiserades till en interventionsgrupp ( n =75 ) och kontrollgrupp ( n = 76 ) och genomgick undersökning vid baslinjen, efter 3 och efter 12 månader. 123 personer fullföljde studien. Efter 12 månader sågs signifikanta förbättringar inom interventionsgruppen av vikt, BMI, midjemått, höftmått, midjehöftkvot, triglycerider, HbA1c, syreupptagningsförmåga, systoliskt och diastoliskt blodtryck till skillnad från inom kontrollgruppen.

One key factor in silviculture today is sustainability. In order to achieve sustainability it may be important to restore lost nutrients to the forest after clearcutting. In order to calculate the removal, you need to know how much of different elements you will find in different tree compartments. The aim of this study was to investigate if the concentration of elements in different tree compartments of spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) were related to the moisture conditions of the site. Five plots at Risfallet (60º 21´ N, 16º 13´ E), was placed along a moisture gradient in a 40- year spruce stand.

Bakgrund: Invandringen till Sverige ökar stadigt och en konsekvens av detta är att allt fler människor talar ett annat språk än svenska. Därmed kan svårigheter med språkliga barriärer och kulturella skillnader uppstå inom hälso- och sjukvården. Sjuksköterskan ska ansvara för att tillräcklig information går fram till patienten och att patienten kan förstå informationen och medge samtycke om vård och behandling. Då det inte finns något gemensamt språk mellan sjuksköterska och patient, hur vet man då att informationen har gått fram och att patienten får bästa möjliga vård efter individuella behov? Syfte: Att belysa språkbarriärer i vården. Metod: Litteraturstudie gjord med inspiration av Goodmans sju steg med databassökning i PubMed och CINAHL. Resultat: Tre huvudteman och fem subteman identifierades, huvudteman var vårdkvalitet, tolkanvändning och strategier för bättre kommunikation.

The aim of this study was to investigate if a mechanical recruitment process could be a useful tool for employers to avoid discrimination.
